What else can I help you with?
How do you show a female without a trait in a pedigree chart?
A normally colored circle. As a carrier of the trait, they are usually half-colored.
How can you tell if a lab thermometer contains mercury a toxic substance?
Just look at the rise or drop in the level of the liquid inside (mercury), which is usually colored red or blue or yellow, it's definitely easy and if it's grey, pay close attention. Look across for the calibrated reading and record in degree Celsius.More Detail: After taking the person's temperature, hold the thermometer up to a light where you can see the mercury line and the numbers. The higher the temp, the higher the mercury line will go. You will have to turn (rotate) the thermometer until you can clearly see the number and the lines between the numbers, much like on a ruler. The thermometer will have whole numbers, but not all of them have all of the numbers. The point at which you see where the mercury end is what the temperature is.For example, mine starts at 96, then goes to 98, then 100, etc. There are lines between the numbers 96 and 98, indicating 97, 99, etc., and there are also lines indicating the degree of the temperature in 10ths. If you take a person's temperature, and they have a fever of 99.8, then the end of the mercury line will be two lines below 100 degrees. If they have a fever of 100.5, then the mercury line will be five lines past the number 100. Most thermometers in the U.S. are in Fahrenheit, which will give you a different reading than one that measures the temperature in Celsius, so be sure you know which type you have.
Why do people use alcohol in thermometers instead of water?
Well, honey, alcohol has a lower freezing point than water, so it won't freeze in cold temperatures. Plus, it has a wider temperature range for measurement. And let's be real, nobody wants a broken thermometer just because it got a little chilly outside.
What liquid is advisable to use as liquid inside the thermometer mercury or alcohol?
Rather ironically, it depends on the temperatures involved. Most thermometers use mercury. Partly, this is because the silver colour of the mercury make it easy to read, but mainly because they work over a useful range of temperatures for everyday use. However, one problem with mercury is that its melting point is -38oC; so below that temperature the thermometer would freeze - this makes it unsuitable for use in very cold environments. Alchohol thermometers (usually ethanol is used) work from around -115oC, so they are used in low temperature environments - the disadvantage with alcohol is that it vaporises at 78oC so it isn't useful in very hot environments.
What is the chemical name for Mercury?
Its usually just called mercury. It's chemical symbol is Hg, which comes from the word hydrargyrum.its also called qiuck silver in common ................
Is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
Thermometer
What is in a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a glass thermometer.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a glass thermometer.
What is a thin tube with a bulb on one end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
If the last word was meant to be "alcohol", then the answer is a thermometer.
What is thin Glass tube with a bulb on one end that contains a Liquid usually Mercury or colored alcohol?
If the last word was meant to be "alcohol", then the answer is a thermometer.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on one end contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
If the last word was meant to be "alcohol", then the answer is a thermometer.
A is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the one end that contains liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
A is a thermometer used for measuring temperature, typically with mercury or colored alcohol as the measuring fluid. The liquid expands or contracts based on temperature changes, providing a reading on the scale of the thermometer.
Before mercury what was used to fill thermometers?
Water was initially used and later on alcohol was used.
What is the liquid in a thermometer?
It can range from mercury to alcohol it depends on the manufacturer.
What is the thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that contaubs a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a thermometer, used for recording temperature.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that contains liquid usually mercury or colered alchohol?
A thermometer is a thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that contains liquid, typically mercury or colored alcohol, used to measure temperature. The liquid expands or contracts with changes in temperature, causing it to rise or fall in the tube, providing a temperature reading.
What is a thin galss tube with a bulb on one end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
A Thermometer. It is used to sense temperature changes.As the liquid expands and contracts with heating or cooling, when set on a calibrated scale, you can get a pretty exact reading on the amount of the changes.
